Glad to hear.  I'll submit an official patch shortly.  Just to make
sure, have you tried running one of the nand-spl images after the patch
I sent yesterday?  It'd be good to get confirmation that the
-gc-sections doesn't have any accidental side effects as I wasn't able
to test it.

I was using gcc 4.2.2 in my tests for what its worth.

One more bug to track down:)
